    Can Android apps access /dev or /sys without rooting the device?

    AFAIK, no.

    Can it work and the native layer?

    If you mean, “can I write an NDK library to access /dev/ or /sys/?”, the language in which you write the code will not matter. It is a matter of processes, users, and permissions.
